BIR Further Extends the Deadline on Filing of VAT Refund Claims in the Philippines

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) released Revenue Regulations (RR) No. 16-2020 to further extend the deadline of application for Value-Added Tax (VAT) refund claims. Due to the adjustments on business processes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, BIR extends the VAT filing for thirty (30) days from the lifting of the quarantine period. The regulations also suspend the application of the ninety (90) days processing period for VAT refund/claims for taxable quarters hit by the declaration of the national state of emergency.

Taxpayer-claimants shall file their respective VAT refund claims in accordance with the following deadlines:
